LONDON, Feb. 9.-The Manchester Guardi-
ans commercial arucle says: There is
light demand aud scanty business. AS rule
producers are unconcerned. Weaknesses ap-
pear only where fresh orders are needed.
Buyers are cautious owing to the disquietlnE
situation on the continent, the weakness OF
Eastern exchanges, or the hope of gaining an
advantage in price by waiting. The home
spring t. ade is late in opening. owing to heavy
STOCKS OF WOolens that distributors have car
rled through the winter. The dullness of cot
ton may also discourage the demand, and
especially Tor yarns. If this dullness should
continue Tor another week or two the strengt h
OF splnners Will be severity tried. There is
poor inquiry for export yarns. Little bust
ness is doing anywhere. although there is an
improved inquiry from the continent since
the political aspect became less alarming.
Home manufacturers are limiting their pur-
chases to the naTrowest requirements Fine
counts OF manufactured Egyptian cotton are
firm, but spinners make no progress. Sellers
of cloth had an idle day yesterday. There
was llttit inquiry for India or China shirtings
or any of the leading Eastern staples, mer-
chants finding difficulty IN effecting contracts
for exchange. Best printing cloths are steady,
with mode ate sales.f

Green Il C0.. in their report on cotton fu-
lures, say: ~ here was n small shading of 9
@3 points early under rather tame accounts
from Liverpool. Yesterdays buyers were
inclined to sell out upon showing of smaller
port receipts. However, the tone changed
quite decidedly and the force of demand
proved sufficient to carry values upward
steadily until so 10 points advance was shown,
the market closing firm at the highest of the
day. Some buying on waiting orders took
place, but the new investment was not free
and the freight appeared to be confined to a
small and tImld portion of the trade"
